Camera in hand, I walked in to Javits Center Tuesday afternoon eager to see what Accessories TheShow had to offer. Accompanying me on this adventure was my partner in crime Natasha, a fellow accessories intern. The two of us were eager to meet up with Sarah Kuhn, the Accessories Editor, at the event and admire her in her natural habitat, which is "jewelry land". Upon descending down the escalator to the lower level of the building where the event took place, Sarah informed us that we should split up in order to see as much as possible. Hesitant to leave Sarah’s side at first, I began to wander to the back of the building in search of unique accessories I thought would be ideal for Teen Vogue. With thoughts of neon, sparkles, and studs (the Teen Vogue essentials) in mind, I began my journey up and down the isles showcasing various forms of talent. As an accessories intern and a jewelry fanatic, this was an incredible experience for me. I saw everything from chains with delicate charms to cuffs accented with large stones. I felt like a kid in the candy store, eager to see and touch everything. After snapping pictures of accessories I felt were Teen Vogue appropriate, I reconvened with Sarah and Natasha to discuss our thoughts about what we saw at the show.

My top three booths were Dolce Vita, Rebecca Minkoff and Pyrrha. This coming fall season Dolce Vita has several great styles. My favorite was a pair of flat black leather ankle boots accented with studded leather straps. I can imagine myself wearing these boots with skinny jeans and mini skirts. At the Rebecca Minkoff booth I was attracted to colorful leather bracelets with gold circular and rectangular studs. These bracelets look great layered up, worn with a watch, or worn alone. Finally, at Pyrrha, I caught glimpse of this awesome silver cuff. This particular bracelet was stamped with several seals of different sizes and meanings. It is a unique piece that can be treasured and worn for years to come.
